Yesterday was released win4lin kenrel patches for the upcoming 2.6
patches applies cleanly but, I think, the start script still depends on
2.4 kernel branch
any idea?

Anyone using Win4Lin tried to get printing under windows to pull up teh

Why keep payin g for windoze??
I have been a long time user of Win4Lin and love it. So when building my new
desktop I decided to use the Gentoo ebuild to install. Everything seemed to
go fine except I cannot get my license file to install. What do I need to do
to get the license to install?

I purchased Win4Lin 5.0 from the Gentoo special offer. I contacted
Netraverse support regarding installation. They informed me as
follows:
We are working on getting information from Gentoo on how they expect
their customers to install Win4Lin - we don't have any of this yet as

The nvidia kernel module is *definitely* tied to kernel version, so
if you built the win4lin kernel from a different source tree than
the one you originally built, you will have to rebuild the module.
You can check for existance of the module as follows:

You shouldn't have to recompile the whole kernel, I think just a make
menuconfig and a make dep should be enough. However, I do think you need
to boot into your win4lin kernel (text-only) and then emerge from there so the
running kernel and the one you are building for match.

Robert,
I personally use and like win4lin. My main use is for Macromedia Fireworks
MX(yeah.. I know I could do sodipodi), and some other design apps. It has
better performance of vmWare I love the way it is integrated into my reiser
filesystem.

What I did was
mv /var/win4lin/install/license.lic /var/win4lin/install/old.license.lic
then run
/opt/win4lin/registerme.sh
It gave me and evaluation license - just hit enter there - it will then prompt
you for your name, org, and license key - there you can put in you full
license key.
I'm running win4lin with win98 and kazaa.
Have a seperage harddrive with ext2 formatting mounted for storage with kazaa.
Problem is that if I do a reboot of win4lin, or so much as close kazaa and restart it,
it cannot get access to the files or something. The win98 keeps crashing when it
